    No team in NCAA history has had an easier path to the championship game than Michigan. They should have lost to Houston. They just are not as good as some here seem to think. Playing mostly weak offensive teams in a lousy B1G 10 this year made their defensive ratings seem high.
    Point guard Simpson was lousy against Loyola- Brunson will dominate the point.
    I know taking 7 points is tempting but Villanova is just alot better. I expect a double digit win.

    Michigan would not be -750 up 7 with 4 minutes to go.

    You're a fool.

    I'll wager you any amount you want.

    Let's take the next 7 point favorite who's down 7 with 4 mins left to go. This isn't perfect science as each game is differnent but like I said I'll wager you anything you'd like the price I gave will be much closer to offered live price then +140 nova. Holy hell you really don't have a clue how live betting works

    If you really think any team that starts the game 7 point favorites, down 7 with 4 left is only +140 you're insane. Anyone who live bets on a semi regular basis knows how asinine that is

    Define better?

    There is not enough information here to determine which is the better price. For comparing different games, a -310 price could offer a much better value or even advantage over the market. For example, getting -310 for an estimated -500 game is much better than getting -200 for an estimated -150 game.

    If you're not estimating a vig free line, then prices really do become meaningless.

    No this one is pretty simple.

    The same game. A game that starts -310 and that same team becomes -200. Even more important when talking about hedging purposes to find the better price.

    If the line moved so much the initial conditions may have changed. There may have been value at -310 that doesn't exist at -200.

    Whether the new -200 line is pre game or live, there must be a recalculation of your estimation.

    Conditions have changed, causing the move, and just because it is priced lower doesn't necessarily make it a "better" bet from a calculation or value standpoint.

    For example, I may want to buy a new Ferrari for a shit ton of money.

    They are offering a discount if they remove the tires and engine.

    I may have gotten a better price with the discount, but was really a better value? Initially, a car I own that won't run is just as useful as a car I don't have.

    We can extend the example by bringing in the cost of tires and engine, but hopefully you get what I'm saying.

    Totally understand what you're saying. In this case he's worried about Michigan not winning and simply wants to hedge. If at some point you know you're going to put a few thousand on nova no matter what at that point it becomes finding best value. I don't think -300 +'is best value. We will all find out in 30 hours

    This would be more applied in a situation where one simply wanted to bet nova. In a situation where it's just a hedge the math becomes more important imo.

    If that's the case, Michigan is fukked. One of the worst FT shooting teams vs. one of the best. I have a +4000 future on Michigan and am taking my free $ and running. Nova by double digits easy.

    I was able to find -300 Nova, so I decided to hedge. I'll take a nice payout either way.

    Actually Nova shot 45% from 3 vs. Kansas, and their season long average is 40%

    Nova proved to me they can win games without the 3 - shot only 17% against Texas Tech for example - Nova the best offensive team I’ve seen in years. Jalen Brunson one of the best point guards in college in years.

    Ya, not sure what this guy is smoking packerd but Nova faced the toughest path they could. I mean there was basically zero upsets on their side of the bracket. They faced the lowest seeds you are going to face as a #1 seed. Having faced the top 3 teams from one of the top 2 conferences in America.

    Nova has players that will take the game to Wagner inside. He carried them over a garbage Loyola team. Get him in foul trouble and its over. Also, who do you trust to win a 3pt battle after watching that second game? Let's be honest Nova can just cycle out someone who isn't shooting well.

    Point guard Simpson was lousy against Loyola- Brunson will dominate the point.

    Line is too sharp

    I mean the line is spot on too fukking sharp

    -7 makes it a no play , either way

    but it’s the championship game so ppl will bet it regardless

    retiring at 9 wins , 3 losses and a push this tournament

    And going to sit and enjoy the final game

    Agree on sitting the spread out. But will try and get reduced ML live on Nova if the opportunity is there. Would be very surprised if Villanova did not win straight up

    Let me preface this by saying I'm on nova in this game. (Well will be if I can find a better price in game)

    But with these threads this is really feeling a lot like the super bowl, with all of the "it's a lock talk" the same everyone was with the patriots. I think nova is the superior team. But college championships have been really close recently with huge ratings spikes. And defensive teams find a way to ugly it up/keep it close

    after reading his angle on the game
    and whatever insider he grabbed that info from
    Michigan just essentially just went from a underdog to “LOCK CITY”

    id grab Michigan @ +7 now before you wake up tomorrow
